NASA Tours Of Apollo Launch Control Center To Be Offered At Florida's Kennedy Space Center

The NASA control center that gave the command to launch rockets to
the moon and send space shuttles into orbit will be opened for public
tours this week for the first time in more than 30 years.
NASA's
Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida announced that
beginning Friday (June 15), a limited number of daily tours will take
guests into the spaceport's historic Launch Control Center
(LCC). Tour-goers will have the rare opportunity to enter the room
where directors and engineers supervised the countdown for all 152
launches of the Apollo moon landing and space shuttle programs.
"This is [a] rare opportunity that NASA has worked with us to provide —
access to the Launch Control Center," Bill Moore, chief operating
officer of visitor complex, said in a statement. "It might be another 30
years before guests will receive a behind-the-scenes opportunity like
this again."
The KSC Up-Close: Launch Control Center (LCC) Tour
will run through the end of the year. It costs $25 for adults and $19
for children in addition to the regular admission to the visitor
complex.
